How do the Trump voters feel now?

America First, stay out of foreign affairs---- bomb Syria.
Repeal Obamacare----too hard
Label China a currency manipulator
changed mind
NATO is obsolete
change of heart
Mexico will pay for the wall
well, actually, no
Lock her up
not so fast
Ban Muslims
how's that working?
Working too much to play golf----FORE!!

I agree that he is actually keeping promises as well, but these are some whoppers that were touted at all those rallies.

There's also the whole Russian conspiracy thing, the crazy travel bills, and general confusion in the administration. Plus the nepotism and all the Tweeting.

Seriously--what's the overall consensus from you or your friends that voted for him? Any buyers remorse?

I blame the last election on the Dems----nothin doin they had to have Hillary----even up to cheating in the nomination

So you reap what you sow

Nuff blame to go round

There was no cheating and there is no way in hell a Socialist was going to win Ohio.

'I've spoken of the Shining City all my political life. …In my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still.'" Ronald Reagan

Not her specifically, but the DNC worked against Sanders and for her. All that came out in the Wikileaks emails, most likely courtesy of the Russians.

Keep in mind though, that Hillary was such a deeply flawed candidate that she lost 23 primaries to an aging Jewish socialist with a strong Brooklyn accent, although Superdelegates gave her six of those states back at the convention, with one tie.

I still predict that the Repubs will try to come up with a variation on Superdelegates to try to avoid a repeat of the 2016 primary debacle. Unfortunately, the base now is so firmly Know Nothing that it won't work.

I don't know that I would call that "cheating." It was important to the DNCC that they nominate an electable candidate. And I know that there's a lot of love for Bernie right now, but let's be real: Clinton, despite her flaws, almost won. Bernie wouldn't even have come close in the general. The oppo on him is terrible and there's 30 years of it. He stole power from his neighbor at one point, he's never had a real job, he prefers government largesse to private charity (he actually said that), he supported countless thugs and revolutionaries over the years, and I haven't even talked about what he actually believes, which is next-level crazy.

I've been wrong about a lot the last few months, but I'm confident that Bernie would have come in for a McGovern-style ****-whuppin. I've had my faith in this country tested in all sorts of ways lately, but I still believe that.

I agree he would have lost badly. But the DNC was supposed to have been neutral and it was not, and the Dems put forth a lousy candidate who ran a lousy campaign. Both parties were caught off guard by the level of grass roots discontent that allowed Sanders to win 23 primaries, and Trump the election. Almost completely out of touch in the case of the Democrats, who seemed to have learned nothing and have kept the same leadership establishment while adding a little lefty window dressing.

The Republicans were neutral and look what happened. I must say, given the staggering level of incompetence manifested by the voter's choice, that a smoke-filled back room and a list of names on a napkin would have been preferable.

Yup.

Except, er, wasn't that how we were supposed to get Bush v. Clinton 2016? You know what they say about the best planned lays of mice and men...

I agree with this assessment of my Senator. I am definitely in the minority in my state. He walks on water here.

I don't mind, and am in fact glad he is in the Senate-his perspective should be in the mix. But President? No way.

Our countries best leadership chance went away when Biden's son passed away. While Joe had his embarrassing moments, his cred with the workers would have won out, and he wouldn't have taken any crap from the orange one. It would have been a fantastic debate series! And he would have been a fine pres. given his experience. Now the Dems have to find some younger talent. Warren is old also.

I'm becoming a little more remorseful that I didn't vote for him, to be honest.

He's still got a ways to go, but he's becoming an establishment Republican. Now if he would just consult first with Mnuchin and Cohn before blabbing off to the WSJ...

He needs and his people need to show some steadiness. During the campaign China was a currency manipulator; now they aren't. Bombing Syria was a terrible idea in 2013. Now it isn't. And so on.

One could say its a virtue that he changes his mind (as we all should when the facts change), but most things in politics aren't fact-specific, and since Trump doesn't hold any positions, what does he stand for? What does his administration stand for? I think its great that we are gonna get a couple of Federal judges, but not if it means the GOP doesn't exist when this all washes out.

He will be an establishment repub until its convenient for him not to be. They say markets and investors hate uncertainty, not to mention allies. Got to think this problem will create adverse results eventually.

You really, really need to calm down on the death of the Republican Party stuff. We didn't get Change! with Obama. We're not going to get it with Trump.

I said from the start, Trump's not an idiot. What he is, is a brand new rookie. He's wising up and figuring out that his ability to do things are limited by certain realities - e.g. you can't go nuts on China because they're the lid on N. Korea or having to deal with the Freedom Caucus. He'll make small changes within the lines of reality and that's it.

I told one of my employees she needed to relax once. Her reply: I don't relax.

Its a fair point, though. We could all stand to calm down. The social media bubble ramps up the apocalyptic thinking to 11 on everything. I'm no more immune to it than anyone else.

For example: that Pepsi commercial which was supposedly so bad and "tone deaf" and all that? Turns out people liked it. Social media hated it, and its easy to confuse the outrage there with outrage generally.
